MythTV didn't decide anything, the broadcaster sends a short and a long 
text. Some broadcasters do send an episode title (or some nonsense for 
movies, not the tagline, but "Movie 2014 DE/AU" written differently 
every time) but a shorter description instead.
One common thing with this broadcaster is to put a "genreword" *or* a 
"genre sentence related to the series" in front of the short description.
Then start the long description with a generic series description 
followed by a long episode description.
